About Photo Hunters, Photo Hunters Themes 2008, more Photo Hunters posts for today's theme.

Todays theme word is heavy. I looked through my stash of photos I've taken, and found these. Of course, if you want to see a larger copy of the photos, just click on them.



One of the members of our church gave us this amethyst to display for sale. The asking price is over $1200, which is pretty heavy, though for an amethyst of this size I've no doubt it's worth the money. I love the way it looks like a boot, and yes, it's an all natural rock, split in half. I haven't tried to pick this up, but am sure it would be very heavy.


This gives a bit of an idea of the size of this thing. Marshall is a big kid.

And a couple of close up shots for you can actually see the crystals.





Happy Photo Hunting.
Thank you for coming to visit and for leaving me your
Fabulous Feedbacks!

CRIZ LAI said...

Wow... that piece is beautiful but I also think the price is a bit too heavy for anyone's pocket :P

Come in for some fun in Criz’s Sanctuary and/or some serious matter in Insight Criz. Have a nice weekend!

Beautiful! There's something magical about geodes, and I love amethyst.

Gattina said...

That's a very big "boot" I just try to imagine how many necklaces, rings and other jewlery I could make out of it. 1200$ doesn't seem very expensive to me, I would have thought much more !

Alice I didn't know you did Photo Hunt, I recognize your name from Wet Coast women.
This is a fabulous piece of amethyst. I have a very small piece in my rock collection. I would love to have that one but the price is heavy.
